Not much one can say
except to hope the madness has run its course.
Seems a microcosm of the larger one. May yours at least be over..

this comes in waves in rural AK everyone is holding their
breath that it ends now. These kids were my wife's brother's kids. He was one my very few friends. Without his intervention when I first met my wife I would not have been accepted into Yupik Society as well or as fast as I was. He taught me a lot as he was both Yupik and an extremely sharp businessman. He died of a heart attack 4 years ago. He is missed.

Condolences
Speechless really.
I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

Never seen anything like that
Worst I had was 6 people over 6 months. Even with that time to recover, it was hell.
I can only imagine what you are going through. :-(
My best wishes to you and yours.
